In this era of downloads and internet shopping, more and more people are deprived of the joy of browsing through racks of cds, looking for bargains, surprises, or just that special recording.

Grove Music, downstairs at The Grove Bookshop, offers a wide range of classical new releases, jazz on cd and vinyl, and a back catalogue of classic recordings in folk, jazz, classical and rock music. Rediscover the joy of browsing in our cosy basement shop.

Christmas at The Grove

Fri 4th Nov 11

We have a host of Christmas gift ideas on display at The Grove Bookshop. We have something for everyone - books for country lovers including Alan Titchmarsh, Complete Countryman and Wild Hares and Hummingbirds by Stephen Moss, classic crime with a twist in Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James and the brand new Sherlock Holmes adventure from Anthony Horowitz, House of Silk.

Art lovers will be thrilled by David Hockney's Yorkshire Sketchbook and the fabulous new collection, The Louvre - All the Paintings, while historians can peruse A Short History of Britain by Simon Jenkins, and there's something to please both in Fiona MacCarthy's masterly new biography of Edward Burne Jones, The Last Pre-Raphaelite.

The 2018 Ilkley Lit Fest is underway! So far, we've enjoyed wonderful events with John Simpson, Nadiya Hussain, Patrick Gale and many more. Grove Bookshop will be at most of the events, come over and say hello. There are lots of fantastic events still to come with tickets available for many. In the shop, we will have signed books after most of the events, but in limited stock, so come soon to avoid disappointment!
